Session switching in KDE: No Machine (!M) use removes session switching ability?

Hi all,

I am using Fedora 8 on my box at work, in KDE 3.5. My ultimate goal is to be able to work in a native session at work, and come home and be able to resume the same session at work, via NX's No Machine "VNC-like" software.

I found that KDE allows for session switching via the lock button, and before work last night, I switched the session to the user manager menu, and went home.

At home, I logged onto a 2nd user on my work box, and then hit the lock button. It locked, but the switch user button is not present! I'm assuming this is a security issue.

So the question is: in what other ways can I change the KDE session? I tried the F-keys (CTRL-ALT-F7, F8, etc.) but either NX No machine isn't allowing F-key control, or it's disabled by KDE. I searched for a session management applet on KDE-Look, but the download link is broken. Is there any sort of session management built in, or that I can download? Any ideas would be appreciated.
